Most Common Car-Related Injuries

Californians pay a far bigger insurance penalty than drivers in most other states for causing a traffic accident. Thats the finding of InsuranceQuotes.com, an insurance shopping company that surveyed how much a drivers premiums rise after one accident. Car insurance premiums for Californian rise by an average of 62% after a single claim, according to the report. Thats the second-steepest hike in the country. Nationally, drivers pay an average of 38% more for car insurance after making a single claim. Residents of Massachusetts pay the largest increase, 67%. New Jersey is third after California with a 59% rise. Maryland has the smallest increase, just 20%, followed by Alabama at 22% and Michigan at 23%. Dont even think about having a second accident thats your fault. Nationally, that sends premiums soaring to 86% over a claim-free driver with a similar policy. The biggest lesson for consumers is not to file a claim unless absolutely necessary, said Laura Adams, an analyst at InsuranceQuotes.com.

Accidentally backing over someone accounted for 14% of injuries; children, difficult to see in blind spots, are often the victims.

Forty-seven percent of those accidents happen at home, while another 40% happen in driveways or parking lots.
